Washington Special. Mr.. Cullom, who
was chairman of the committee on eX.
~penditures of public money in the
last Congress, has been made chair.
OF the committee on interstate
The advance of public opinion
can be noted in connection with this COM
mittee, for from a temporary committee, |
appointed during the recess, it has been
made a standing committee with MIR. Cul-
as Recommendations, and is destined
TO become one OF the most important com
mittees in the senate. The action of the |
IN making this a permanent CON-
mittee is a sufficient answer to any base
less stories that the interstate
law will be repealed, However much
portions 81 the law may be disliked
there is probably not a member OF either
who viii care to so defy public
az to move to repeal it; and no
in the law are to be anticipated
except as are designed to make it more
equitable or to enlarge its scope by giving
the commission definite powers which
are nov matters of construction, doubt, |
or inference. The interstate commerce law
ike the civil service law has come to atay.
